Social Welfare of Immigrating to New Zealand

Article 1 Social welfare of immigrants to New Zealand

1, free public medical care All public hospitals in New Zealand are free, and the surgical equipment of the hospitals is provided by the state free of charge. However, if you go to a family doctor to see a common disease, you have to charge an outpatient fee (that is, a registration fee). All expenses (including medicine fees) for children under six years old, whether public or private, are borne by the state. Poor people see family doctors and reduce outpatient fees.

2. Delivery is free.

Fertility has always been a big problem in western countries. In New Zealand, all expenses from pregnancy to childbirth are borne by the state. The government encourages childbearing. In addition to the one-time reward, the government subsidizes the cost of raising each child every week until 18 years old.

3. Free and compulsory education

Primary and secondary education is free. National universities only need to pay a nominal low tuition fee, and they can enjoy the student allowance after living for two years. The amount needs to be subsidized according to the number of students' families and housing expenses, which is enough for the whole family. Of course, free education is aimed at public schools, not private schools.

4. Unemployment benefits

If you have difficulty finding a job, you can go to the New Zealand Labor Bureau to register information. The government will pay the allowance on time (it is said that it is also paid according to the minimum hourly wage), provided that you are willing to work and are not lazy.

5. Government pension

New Zealand's pension system stipulates that both New Zealand citizens and foreigners with permanent residency are eligible to apply for a pension as long as they are 65 years old and have lived in New Zealand for 10 years. Those who have lived in New Zealand for more than/kloc-0 and less than 30 years will receive a certain percentage of full pension, which will be paid every two weeks.

6. Some countries or regions have visa-free entry.

As a member of the Commonwealth, New Zealand citizens can enter developed countries in Europe and America without a visa. And automatically get the right to settle and work in Australia, and enjoy all the benefits that Australian permanent residents should enjoy except unemployment benefits. You can work in England. After retirement, you can live in Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries (the pension is paid by the New Zealand government).

7. Free government public housing

In order to make everyone have a suitable place to live, New Zealand has implemented large-scale housing construction for ordinary New Zealand families since the 1935 xx Labor Party government. Up to now, there are about 69,000 government public houses in New Zealand. Many friends who have taken New Zealand PR can apply if they can't afford food for the time being.

8. Natural environment and food safety

Diego really won't talk about this. I believe everyone has long been impressed by New Zealand's pure water and air, beautiful natural landscape and high-quality food safety.

Article 2 Allowances that New Zealand immigrants can enjoy

1. Widow's allowance

Widow allowance refers to the project allowance provided by the New Zealand government to women whose husbands have died but still have children to support. Under special circumstances, even if the husband dies without children, he can apply for this project allowance.

2. Emergency allowance

Emergency allowance refers to the allowance that can be applied for in an emergency, and the local government of New Zealand should be consulted for details.

3. Death benefits

Death pension refers to one-time or continuous payment within 4 weeks after death according to the income of the applicant.

4. Unexpected medical payment

Anyone in New Zealand (including foreign tourists) will provide unconditional rehabilitation and compensation for any serious injury or occupational disease at any time and any place. Of course, you only need to fill in the medical certificate issued by the doctor of the nearby accident compensation bureau when applying.

5. Housing subsidies

The government provides cash subsidies to New Zealand families who rent or mortgage their houses and need to repair them.

6. Special housing allowance

Special accommodation allowance refers to the subsidy provided to families who do not receive any benefits but have to bear high rents. The subsidy for this project varies from place to place in New Zealand. Please refer to the relevant agencies of the local government for details.
